Conditional simulation and grade uncertainty in Isatis.neo | Training course

Strengthen your risk assessment skills by learning to implement Isatis.neo simulations on your mineral resource projects.

Objectives

  • To improve understanding of how to apply simulations for confident uncertainty assessment and risk analysis of your resource projects.
  • To get more familiar with using advanced features in Isatis.neo Mining.

Outlines

  • Half of the course is devoted to methodological presentations, the second half to practical exercises to deepen the understanding of concepts. Focus is on illustrations and practical contribution of the covered concepts.
  • Computer exercises with Isatis.neo Mining Edition.
  • Course material and temporary software license provided.

Who should attend

Professionals who want to improve their skills in Isatis.neo Mining and gain autonomy and confidence to solve practical mining problems using conditional simulations.

Course content

1| OVERVIEW OF ISATIS.NEO MINING TOOLS AND CONCEPTS

  • User interface and data management, 3D viewer, reports, calculator.
  • Import, statistics, and variographic analysis.

2| GEOSTATISTICAL SIMULATIONS

  • Data pre-processing, including Gaussian transformation and declustering.
  • Variographical analysis in the Gaussian space.
  • Simulations: run Turning Bands and Sequential Gaussian Simulations. Get a set of realizations for regionalized variables.
  • Post-processing: learn how to calculate statistics and uncertainties to aid decision-making.
  • Simulation validation.

Prerequisites

It is recommended that participants already have geostatistical knowledge.
